This magnificent blown Murano Glass vase features rich radiant colors, fine workmanship, and unique artistic form, all of which highlight the mastery and artistic talent of Murano Glass makers. Festive colorful millefiori mosaics are scattered against cristallo glass with sparkly pieces of embedded genuine silver foil, and rich blue glass at the top seems to flow down the vase in a true expression of Murano artistic style. The amazing look of millefiori glass is further enhanced by the unique "fazzoletto" shape (which means "handkerchief" in Italian), invented by Murano masters to achieve exquisite weightlessness and elegance of handkerchief folds in glass.

This beautiful authentic Murano vase was painstakingly created by hand using only traditional glass-making methods by a third-generation Murano maestro, whose work is displayed at exhibitions and in museums worldwide. With or without flowers, it will make a perfect centerpiece and will add a touch of famous Italian design and Venetian opulence to your home. This gorgeous Venetian vase also makes a great luxurious gift to the special people in your life, as it is truly a one-of-a-kind piece of art.

Murano Glass Millefiori vases and bowls are made by hand in the factories of Murano Island using a unique time-tested method of infusing small pieces of Millefiori glass canes into the hot glass core of an object, whereby the surface of the art glass object acquires a mosaic look. By picking out the colors and patterns of Millefiori beads to use in each Murano Glass piece, the glass artisans of Murano create thousands of Millefiori vases, bowls, and other art glass pieces, each with its own unique design. Making a Murano Millefiori Vase is hard work involving multiple steps and precise movements between crafting the object at the artisan’s bench and re-heating it many times in the furnace, making each object a valuable and distinctive piece of Murano Glass art.
